right form because it's that of the foot, to which the foot takes as kindly as

BILTON, S. C., July 28.
We this week take up the Cornish
Indian Game. These fowls were im
ported into this country from England
about ten years ago. They are a good
all purpose fowl, having the desired
qualities for market, being compact,
with yellow skin and legs, and are
very heavy, the cocks weighing from
nine to eleven pounds, and the hens
from seven to nine pounds, from
which there is little waste in dressing.
They are very rapidly maturing birds,
chickens coming to full feather about
six weeks from hatching. They are a
very profitable fowl for the farmer
owing to their rapid growth and the
delicacy of the flavor of their flesh.
They command from five to eight cents
per pound more in the New York mar
ket than any other breed. The flesh
is tender and juicy, and more nearly
represents the flesh of the young tur
key than that of any other fowl. Their
breasts are very full and round, car
rying plenty of meat. If given plenty
of range they will prove to be very
persistent layers, of good sized eggs,
which are eves in size and color. In
color these fowls are very beautiful.
The bright brown shafts and glossy
green lacings make a beautiful con
trast. In the male the plumage of the
breast and under parts of the body is
a green, glossy black, neck and hackle
same color, with brown crimson shafts
to feathers; back and saddle a mixture
of rich, green, glossy black and brown
crimson; wings chestnut brown with
metallic, green, glossy wing bar. In
the hen the coloris a chestnut brown,
with beautiful lacings of metallic
green, glossy black. The legs and
skin in both sexes are a very rich,
bright, deep orange yellow. Their
wattles, faces and combs are a rich
red. They are very active and vigor
ous, and great "hustlers," going, if
the range will admit of it, long dis
tances from the yard. The Indian
Games are very peaceable birds, and
indeed the male bird is less apt to
quarrel and fight than almost any
other breed. Most people seem to
labor under the impression that they
are fighters, but such is not the case.
They are game only in name and not
in disposition.
Mr. George W. Fant, living near
Belton, has acock two years old, that
has four well-developed legs. The
second, or supplementary pair, coming
out from the body near the butt of the
wings. He has promised to have it
at the Poultry and Pet Stock Show in
Anderson this winter as a curiosity.
This chicken is a Plymouth Kock
hybrid.
If your chickens have cholera,! which
may be known by the following symp
toms: sleepiness, droopy appearance,
thirstiness, with slow, deliberate gait,
as though they were counting their
steps, frequently gaping, their combs
and wattles in the mean time becom
ing pale or very dark; diarrhea, give
the Douglas mixture together with
corn or wheat soaked in kerosene.
Soak the corn or wheat over night,
and feed them three or four times a
week. It is an excellent plan to keep
the soaked oom on hand to he in
readiness on the first appearance of
the disease, for in this, as in most
other chicken diseases, promptness is
an important item. Upon the first ap
pearance of the disease remove and
keep to themselves the affected ones,
clean out your houses and use carbolic
acid in the proportion of one ounce of
the acid to two gallons of water for
spraying the inside of the houses and
roots of the trees. If you haven't a
spray pump, a broom dipped in the
solution and shook over the places to
be disinfected will do. Burn the
bodies of all, those that die of the
disease.
Watch out for sore head from now
until Sept. 15th, and if it makes its
appearance, grease the soreheads with
the following: Lard (fresh) four parts,
sulphate zinc one part. Pulverize the
zinc and mix thoroughly.with the lard.
One application is usually sufficient.
A Novel Experiment.
The most ourious experiment ever
made with a piece of ordnance was at
Portsmouth, England. A stage was
erected in the harbor within the tide
mark; on this an Armstrong gun of
the 110-pound pattern was mounted.
The gun was then loaded and careful
ly aimed at a target-all this, of
course, during the time of low tide.
A few hours later, when the gun and
the target were both covered with
water to a depth of six feet, the gun
was fired by means of electricity. We
said "aimed at a target," but the
facts are that there were two targets,
but only one was erected for this
special experiment, the other being
the hull of an old vessel, the Griper,
which lay directly behind the target
in range of the ball. The target it
self was placed only twenty-five feet
from the muzzle of the gun. It was
composed of oak beams and planks,
and wan twenty-one inches thick. In
order to make the old Griper invul
nerable, a sheet of boiler plates three
inches nhick was riveted to the water
logged hull in direct range with the
course the ball was expected to take
if not deflected by the water. On all
of these-the oaken target, the boiler
plates and thc old vessel hull-the ef
fect of the shot from the submerged
g*\n was really startling. The wooden
target was pierced through and through,
the boiler iron target was broken into
^pieces apd driven into its "backing,"
the ball passing right on through both
sides of the vessel, making a huge
hole through which the water poured
in torrents. Taken all together, the
experiment was an entire success,
demonstrating, as it did, the feasibili
ty of placing submerged guns in har
bors in time of war and doing great
damage to the vessels which an enemy
might dispatch to such points Jpr the
purpose of shelling cities.-Invention.

In the Augusta Chronicle of yester
day there was published an apprecia
tive notice of Col. James Armstrong.
Col. Armstrong is too well known in
Charleston to need an introduction,
but the piece in the Chronicle is re
produced because it is a tribute of
which any man might be proud, lt
was written by B. F. Brown, Scrgt.
Co. L., 1st regt., S. C. V., and is as
follows :
"Of the living heroes of the Lost
Cause there is not one more worthy
the name than Capt. James Arm
strong, of Charleston, S. C., the last
commander of thc Irish Volunteers,
known as Company K, in the 1st
Carolina regimeut of McGowan's bri
gade.
The Confederate States had in their
service no braver, more loyal or de
voted GOO. Though battered and
bruised-the result of his valor, he is
still a magnificent specimen of that
manhood of which the once great army
of Northern Virginia was composed
a manhood so splendid as to draw from
the historian of the army of the Poto
mac the tribute, 'Who can ever for
get that once looked upon it? That
array of tattered uniforms and bright
muskets, that body of incomparable
infantry, the army of Northern Vir
ginia, which, receiving terrible blows,
did not fail to give the like, and
which, vital in all its parts, died only
with its annihilation.'
"Under all circumstances Capt.
Armstrong was a model man. The
discipline of the camp, which bore
heavily upon the untutored soldiers in
the early days of the war, was always
softened by the consideration he
showed for those under him. A grace
ful writer, a fluent speaker, an inter
esting conversationalist, a charming
personality, he wasafavorite through
out the regiment with both officers and
men. In contrasting his heroism on
the battlefield with the gentleness of
his bearing towards his fellowmen,
how appropriate seem the lines of
Bayard Taylor :
" 'The bravest are the tenderest,
The loving are the daring.'
"In critical moments, as at the bat
tle of Hatcher's Run, the heroic qual
ities of the man showed at the best.
The terrific collision with the Union
troops had thrown the Confederate
line into disorder. The gallant and
lamented Col. W. C. McCreary had
fallen with a death wound. Capt.
Armstrong, with the instinct of the
true soldier, raised his sword, and
pointed it in the direction of the ene
my. The purpose was to attract the
attention of the men, and it had the
effect, for he at once became the ral
lying point. The quick eye of Capt.
D. P. Goggans, of Company B, a reg
ular old war horse, who, for his daring
now carries a wooden leg, detected the
movement, and placing himself by the
side of. the Captain, the noble rem
nant of the old 1st regiment gathered
around them and stayed for awhile the
advance of the enemy. The check
was but for a few hours for the Union
line of battle presented an unbroken
front from the Appomattox River to
Dinwiddie, and was only awaiting the
outcome of Sheridan's movement
against Five Forks. Upon the cap
ture of that important point, a general
assault was made, extending from the
river to Hatcher's Run, and the army
of Northern Virginia, shattered into
fragments, commenced its memorable
retreat from Petersburg. In just one
week to the day-a lively Sabbath
morning-in the peaceful village of
Appomattox, its marchings and its
lightings came to an end, and it passed
into history.
"It was near Sutherland's Station, ??
on the South Side Railroad, that the
writer remembers as the last time he
saw Capt. Armstrong in the army, and
just after he received the wound
which he has borne with patient forti
tude for over thirty years, and which
will cease its achings only when "life's
fitful fever" shall be over. The in
tense suffering this wound at times
causes him, the added thirty-five
years to his age since the days of the
first camp at near Suffolk, Virginia,
the care incident to the responsibili
ties of an exacting office, and the
blight of domestic affliction-all these
-have not been sufficient to dim the
lustre of his eye, mar the gentleness
of his manners or dull thc eloquence
of his tongue."
Our Cause Was Just and Right.
The Confederate reunion at Rich
mond, Virginia, beginning June 30
and ending June 2, was a great oe-,
casion. lt behooves our Southern
people to honor forever the brave men
and women who served the "Lost
Cause" so magnificently on the field
and in the home; and we must guard
jealously against misrepresentation of
the issueB that produced the struggle
between the States and the facts of
that war. Patriotic loye for our re
united country does not demand any
forgetfulness of the issues, the men,
the women, and the deeds of 1861-5.
We have nothing to be ashamed of in
those trying years. It would be a
shame to forget those who served, suf
fered and died for our rights; and it
would be a shame also to abate one jot
of our claim that our cause was just
and right. We accept the issue loyal
ly, but we maintain steadily, not that
"we thought we were right," but that
we were really right.
It is pleasant to note that South
Carolinians had much kindness be
stowed upon them, and that our great
Boldier and citizen, Gen. Wade Hamp
ton, received extraordinary honors.
His devoted services in war and peace
deferred such recognition, and our
people will be glad that the old hero
was accorded his dues. Virginia
knows how to do thc just and graceful
thing, and she did it in her best style.
Officers and privates were made to
feel that their deeds were remembered.
So may it ever be, everywhere.

Prof. Denny recently gave a demon
stration to his students at Firth Col
lege, Sheifield, England, of a very un
usual and interesting nature, says the
Westminster Gazette. Among the
most ancient of animals still inhabit
ing our planet is the so-called mud
fish (Protopterus) of Africa-a creat
ure worthy of our respect, if only in
consideration of its vast antiquity,
which dates far back in the early
ages of the world. Of popular inter
est, the most striking feature of the
mud fish is the possession of lungs as
well as gills. On the approach of the
dry season, in its natural haunts in
Central Africa, the mud fish hollows
out a chamber in mud, and enters up
on a period of rest extending over
many months, during which time it is
without access to water and breathes
air only. While in the mud these
fishes may be dug up, and survive
even after a journey across the world
in the dry Btate. Prof. Denny re
ceived a short time ago one of these
mud blocks. In the presence of the
students the hard block was placed in
warm water, and after being thus ex
posed for nea-'v two hours the fish,
which went to sleep in tropical Africa
many months ago, awoke and came
forth from its temporary sepulcher to
find itself in a bath of tap wuter in the
biological laboratory of Firth College,
where it is now alive and doubtless
happy. '
Old Hickory and His Neighbors.
I have been requested by a friend to
write my recollections of Gen. Jackson
and his family. Andrew Jackson was
a young lawyer when he came here
from North Carolina with Judge Mc
Nairy. He boarded with Col. John
Donaldson, at Clover Bottom, on
Stone River. While he was boat ding
there he fell in love with and married
Mr. Donaldson's daughter, Rachel.
Her father then gave them the farm,
which is now the Hermitage, and he
built a house and went there to live.
At first he built a hewed loghouse, in
which they lived for many years, and
then built the brick house which is
now standing there. - When a young
man he was very fond of horse racing,
card playing and sport of every kind.
He fought a duel with Mr. Dickinson,
and killed him.
When the Indian war broke out he
raised a regiment and went out as a
General. After the Indian war he
took part in the war of 1812 with the
British. He was the leading mau,
the hero of the South, from the begin
ning until the close of the war.
After he came home from the war
he settled down, became a very pious
man, and joined theFirst Presbyterian
Church here. He built a church at
the Hermitage, which is still standing.
He was afterward elected President of
the United States, and was President
fur eight years. His wife died soon
after he was elected President, and
bis nephew, Andrew Donaldson, with
his wife, went to Y/ashington and kept
house for him.
Gen. Jackson had no children, but
he and his wife adopted her brother's
son and named him Andrew Jackson.
While he was President his adopted
son married a beautiful young lady
from New York. They had a beautiful
daughter, whom they named Rachel,
for Mrs. Gen. Jackson. She married
Dr. John Lawrence, who is still living
on a farm near the Hermitage. Gen.
Jackson was a very hospitable man.
All the distinguished men who visited
Nashville were entertained at his
house. He always had the house full
of his wife^s relatives. He was also a
very kind man, and especially so to
his slaves.
Col. Ward was a very prominent
man, and his farm was next to Gen.
Jackson's. He came here from Vir
ginia, and his wife was Miss Nancy
Ward. They were both wealthy, aris
tocratic Virginians. They had no
children of their own. but raised sev
eral of their neices and nephews. Her
brother and his wife died, leaving
three sons and one daughter. Mrs.
Ward sent to Virginia for them, aud
they came here to live with her. Coi.
Ward had a fine farm and over 100
negro slaves. His wife's sister, Miss
Sallie Jones, married his nephew,
William Ward, who also had a large
farm in this neighborhood and a great
many negroes. Col. Ward's wife died
aad Mr. William Ward died.
Col. Ward became engaged to Mrs.
William Ward, and his nephews,
named Jones who lived with him, said
he should not marry her. When they
were to be married his nephews went
to the house and got into a fight with
Mrs. William Ward's son, and when
Col. Ward came out to stop them they
shot and killed him. Mrs. William
Ward was the only one who saw it,
and she traveled for several years to
keep from appearing against them in
Court. She died, a broken-hearted
woman, away from her home. She
was a most excellent Christian woman.
Her daughter married, and is now
living in Arkansas.
Col. Winston lived just between
Davidson County and Wilson County,
and near Col. Ward. He came from
Virginia and belonged to a distin
guished family. His oldest son, Wil
liam,.married Polly Cooper, and his
second son, Isaac, moved to Alabama,
and was made Governor of the State.
His next son, Dr. Edwin Winston,
lived in Clarksville. All of his chil
dren became useful, distinguished
men and made excellent citizens.
When the Indian war broke out Major
Exum organized a company of cavalry,
and Isaac Winston joined it. Isaac
Winston was going to school to Major
Exum when the war began. After the
war Major Exum reopened his school
here, and all the prominent boys went
to him.-Miss Jane Thomas in the
Nashville American.
- UnuQual ceremonies attended the
marring* on Thursday Inst n Hagdrstown,
Md., of Mrs. MMI-V Delirio1!, a widow, to
Mr. John C. Metz. On tie day ot the
marriage several thousand printed invi
tations were distributed over the town to

Flags and colored pompons decorated the

to see the ceremony. The parlors were
gorgeously trimmed with flowers and
vines. The bride wnre a Mark silk dress

Between the 49 and 55 mile posts on the
Carolina Central railroad there is a piece
or track for a distance of nearly six miles
that presunta a singular condition that so
far amounts to an inexplicable mystery.
All trains going and comine go to grind
ing and start a terrible squeaking when
they get on this fox miles of track. Tbe
noise comes from not only one car, but
every locomotive, each coach, aod everv
car of whatever kind seta upa grinding
as if turning a curve. The noise is some
thing like the screeching of an ox-cart
that bas no grease on it, and it i? made by
every truck ou a train. The traok is per
fectly straight, and as thero is no curve
at all the came of the grinding and
squeaking bas mystified the railroad peo
ple. Every effort has been made to aacer
tnin the cause ol'the difficulty. The loco
motives have been examined, the coaches
and car? have been scrutinized, every
croHBtie and every rail bas been inspect
ed, and every joint bas been looked at and
every foot of the track bas been regauged,
but no explanation could be found. Tbe
section master has almost crawled over
the six miles on his knees in search of the
eau SH. The road master has tried bis best
to ferret out tbe matter, and the superin
tendent has been over the track and in
ppected it-all ot them making repeated
efforts time and again to find out what is
the matter-but they have given it up aa
a bad job. They have not only not been
able to discover the cause of the noise,
but have been unable to discover any the
ory to explain the mystery, lt is one of
the railroad mysteries of the age, and bas
been going on fur 20 years. During that
time tbe crossties and rails bave been re
placed several limes with nfwnne-J, but
without effect.-St. Louis Qlobc-Dcmo

- Prof. Ball, tho Astronomer Royal of
Ireland and one of the most popular as
tronomical writers in Great Britain, bas
just finished a cmious calculation on the
dixtaDce to tbe Dearest of tbu "lixed
B'ars." The calculation was inspired by a
visit to ODO of tbe great Lancashire thread
factories. The superintendent of one of
the factories inspected by the astronomer
informed the star-gazer tbat the com bined
output of tbe various Lancashire thread
facories was 155,000,000 miles of thread
per dayl Those figures were certainly
enough to astonish anyone, unless it
should be an astronomer. Prof. Ball has
long since passed the point where he ex
presses surprise at a string of figures
A hieb represent, even billions of miles.
Instead of falling stunned at tbe thread
man's feet, be paralyzed the manufacturer
of cotton filaments by telling him that if
all the factories in Lanca bira should
work day and night, prod ucing 155,000,000
miles ot thread every 12 hours, it would
take them 200 years to spin a thread long
enough to reach from the earth to the
nearest of the fixed stars !
- A florist of many years' experience
gives the following receipt for preserving
boquets: When you receive a boquet
sprinkle it lightly "with fresh water ; then
put it into a vessel containing some soap
suds, which nourish the roots and keep
the flowers as bright as new. Take the
boquet out of the suds every morniug,
and lay it sideways in fresh water, the
Btook entering first into the water ; keep
it there a minute or two, then take it out
and sprinkle the flowers lightly by the
band with pure water. Replace the
boquet in the soapsuds, and tbe dowers
will bloom as fresh as when first gathered.
The soapsuds need be changed every
third day. By obseaving theoe rules, a
boquet can be kept bright and beautiful
for at least one month, and will last still
longer in a very passable state, but the
attention to the fair and frail creatures, as
directed above, must be strictly observed.
- Wo never see but one side of the
moon but judging from the side presented
to our view, lt is the general opini n that
the moon is at least spherical. Of late,
however, a new theory is being advanced.
Astronomers who are carefully studying
the question say that the lights and
abadowB of "our silver Bister world" are
incompatible with the old theory of its
spherical shape.
Roger and the Tramp Dog?
Someone gives the following account
of dog heroism: This is a dog story in
which Roger is the hero. The cook
noticed in the last ten days that Roger
had developed a terrible appetite, and
wa3 not satisfied with? one bone, but
hung around until begot two or three,
and then he would start off with them
in his mouth. The cook thought he
buried them, so he determined to fol
lovr him one day and iind out what he
did with them. Ile followed him
over to the barn, and close to the barn
is an old hayrick with a fence around
it, and there in the corner was a poor
little miserable dog. He was one with
whom we are not acquainted, and
therefore we called him a tramp dog.
He was blear-eyed and skinny, and so
poor that when his tail wagged in ap
preciation of Roger's bringing him the
bones, his joints would make a noise
like a sandpaper rustle. Roger would
put down the bones in front of the
dog, make a little dog talk, and sit
down and watch the poor little tramp
commence to eat them up.
- There aro no truer, manlier, more
peace-lovine men in our country tn-rlay
than these Con'ederate veterans. There
are none who better deserve thu confidence
and respect of those with whom they live,
and hefore whom they are setting exam
ples of patient toil, with no repining over
the past. Never may the day come when
we of the South shall be so weak, so un
mindful of their desert as to feel ashamed
for them, or even to think of them with
out a thrill of pride in their heroic en
durance. As their graves increase year
by year, let us lav on them the unfading
laurel of their renown, together with the
olive branch of peace and the white lilies
of r, Chrlatnin hope of reunion and peace
eternal-''over th- ri ver, und?*r the shadow
of the trees."-Southern Presbyterian.
- One of the funniest letters ever sent
to a sovereign is. probably the following
received by the Queen of England : "dere
Mr3. Queen I lost my doll in the big
whole in the mountain people say you
own the other side ot the world too and
won't you please tell them to look for it."
The Queen thought lt rather less trouble
to send the petitioner a new doll._

STUART'S
GINANDBUCHU
THE GREAT REMEDY
FOR
All Bladder and Kidney Troubles
Read the testimony of a physician
?who has thoroughly tested it in an ac
tive practice:
I have thrtrnnehly tested STUART'S
GIN AND BUCHU, and am convin^d
that it has great Intrinsic worth, and fills
a lonp felt want in medicine. It posses
se* a delicacy of flavor which renders it
aereeable to the most feeble and fas
tidious taste. It is a good stomachic and
a general and efficient tonic. Ia kidney
and bladder troubles it has no equal.
Both In acute and chronic alf-?tions. of
these organs, its use, in my bands, bas
given great satisfaction, imparting tone
and vigor where lons of vitality or other
irregularities exist
